The Highland County Pilots Association will hold a Young Eagles Day on Saturday, May 14 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., as part of EAA’s on-going program to introduce young people to aviation.
In the event of adverse weather, a makeup day is scheduled for May 21.
Since the program was launched in 1992, more 1.3 million young people between the ages of 8 and 17 have taken a free airplane flight.
During each flight, the pilots demonstrate how to prepare the airplane for a safe flight and review basic flight fundamentals.
After a short introductory airplane ride, each Young Eagle receives a certificate signed by the pilot commemorating the event. A parent or guardian must be present during the flight.
In addition to the certificate, each Young Eagle is entered into the World’s Largest Logbook housed within the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wis. The logbook records the Young Eagle, the participating pilot, the date of the flight and the aircraft used.
Volunteers and contributions from aviation-minded companies and individuals support the Young Eagles program.
Young Eagle information — including an on-line version of the World’s Largest Logbook — is also available at www.youngeagles.org.[[In-content Ad]]
